Twenty Years Ago In Fire Damaged West Pleasant Home
Fire destroyed much of George Mikytuik’s home on West Pleasant street this morning after the upper part burned away, marking a major blaze from the December 5, 1933 journal files. Three local liquor license applications were filed with the State Liquor Control Board from the city. Maude H. Barnes was elected president of the Board of Education, replacing Harry B. Smith. City Council set the tax rate at 12 and a half mills, up 0.14, with reduced valuations easing property costs. Mrs Bates, 87, fractured her left hip after falling from a chair at her West Church street home and was taken to Cory Hospital.
